Elements operating in the same way, or having the same function as in Fig. 4 are given the same reference numerals. Further, in the example below, it is assumed that "0" is returned for the ACK bit in the case of confirming reception of the CEC message and that "1" is returned in the case where reception could not be confirmed.
  • Wireless video reception device 120 transmits the header block including this ACK bit as a header block 55 via wireless packet 41 to the piece of AV equipment connected by wire. At this point, if the destination piece of AV equipment is removed, it is seen that reception has not been possible since the reception confirmation ACK bit becomes "1". The information that this reception has not been possible is sent, as wireless packet 48, to wireless video transmission device 110 at the timing position of the vertical retrace interval coming next. Wireless video transmission device 110 extracts the concerned information in control information extraction part 223 and deletes the physical address and logical address of the concerned piece of AV equipment from the address table.

Providing for the same case, it is acceptable to immediately not correct address table 218 and to wait once more or to wait for a correction until the allowed number of CEC message retransmissions of 5 has been reached. Even in this case, it is better not to make a reception confirmation bit proxy reply to the transmitting piece of AV equipment.

  • Embodiment 2 by transmitting CEC messages wirelessly by dividing them up not in units of one byte but in bit units, the responsiveness of reception confirmation ACK bits is further improved, the data inside the information bit groups being expressed in bit units.
  • header block 1 After reception of the previous information bits including at least the destination bits, header block 1 is transmitted as wireless packet 41 inserted in the vertical retrace interval. With wireless packet 45 of the following vertical retrace interval, the EOM bit of the header block and the D0 to D5 data bits of data block 1, received up to that point, are transmitted to wireless video reception device 120. As for header block 51 sent out by the wireless video reception device, the D7 bit thereof may have the timing at which the preparation of the EOM bit generated from wireless packet 45 is complete. In this way, if one chooses to send in bit units, there is the effect that it is possible to further shorten the CEC message delay, since for each video vertical scanning period, the respective CEC message bits are gradually sent.
  • the delivery of the CEC message may be delayed by the time portion corresponding to the processing thereof. Additionally, since wireless packets 46, 47 are similar to the wireless packet 45, the detail explanations of the wireless packets 46,47 are omitted.
  • Fig. 7 is a sequence diagram showing a case in which the AV equipment to be received is removed and the reception confirmation ACK bit does not come back.
  • the operation is the similar to that of Fig. 5 , but since the CEC message is sent by being divided up in bit units, the information that the piece of AV equipment has been removed is promptly communicated to wireless video transmission device 110, so it is possible to halt the reception confirmation ACK bit proxy reply to the transmitting piece of AV equipment. (Refer to the wireless packet 49 of Fig.7 .)
  • FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a system in which there are assumed pieces of AV equipment that are connected by wire with a wireless video reception device.

  • a switchover utilizes the identification signals of wireless video transmission devices 110 and wireless video reception devices 120. Since there is no change in the conversion table between CEC systems 11 and 13, which continue to be connected, reconstruction of the conversion table is kept to a minimum, so high-speed switchovers become possible.
